We are taking a plunge into the past and giving it new live.
Very glad that you're back. Hearing you say that you intend to post videos more regularly again already makes me feel like the community is coming back to life (although the real large wave of new activity is still 2-3 weeks in the future, when the first Power 2.0 prototype will see the light of day).
You did a very nice job with the station. It was already a beauty with a lot of potential, and this increase of construction quality and realism really added a lot. The rotating antenna array will make the station look alive from even a large distance, and that animated robotic arm is just superb!
Also, I have a little building principle related to what you pointed out about the need to change the shades of grey armor at certain places: the way I go about this is that I try to use a different color every time when two parts of a structure meet that are supposed to be two separate components connected together (for example, bolted together). The difference in color in such cases indicates that those two parts of the structure were "put together" instead of being one continuous piece of metal. And sometimes the Remove/Replace filter tool really comes handy to make such contrasts, when all that's needed to be done is changing some light grey parts to dark grey.
